<P>Doubt they could offer any compensation at all. How would they work it all out? Not everyone would have been wanting one of the offers and how could they be sure just who did?</P>Sun, 29 Nov 2015 11:29:05 GMTjonsie2015-11-29T11:29:05ZKick-start your Christmas shopping this Black Friday with O2https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Welcome-News/Kick-start-your-Christmas-shopping-this-Black-Friday-with-O2/m-p/929645#M14039
<P>Hi folks,</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P><SPAN>With the Christmas season soon approaching, many of us like to get presents and gifts well in advance. If you’re like me we have&nbsp;great news!&nbsp;This year<SPAN class="apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</SPAN></SPAN><STRONG><SPAN>O2's Black friday sale includes price crashes and great deals</SPAN></STRONG><SPAN class="apple-converted-space"><SPAN>&nbsp;</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN>that will make your 2015 Christmas shopping cheaper and easier than ever before.</SPAN></P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>O2 is inviting customers to choose their price for more than 70 top products this Friday, giving them the chance to get high end products like the Samsung Galaxy S6 for a pound or even less. O2 is also discounting a huge selection of phones, tablets, smartwatches, fitness bands and other accessories as part of its Black Friday sale.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P><STRONG>Crashing prices</STRONG></P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>O2’s Price Crash, live throughout Friday 27 November at&nbsp;<A href="http://www.o2.co.uk/pricecrash" target="_blank">http://www.o2.co.uk/pricecrash</A>, will give customers the chance to get their hands on a plethora of mobile technology at a price they choose. Throughout the day, new items will be added to Price Crash and their prices will start tumbling. Once the price reaches a level a customer wants to pay, they can stop the crash and buy the item immediately. With no reserve prices in place, prices for top tech like the HTC One M9 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 could drop all the way down to £1, with most items even qualifying for free delivery.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P><STRONG>Other sale savings</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>&nbsp;</STRONG></P>
<P>As well the O2 Price Crash, O2 is also offering savings of up to 50% on a range of phones, tablets, smartwatches, fitness bands and other accessories in their Black Friday sale:&nbsp;<A href="http://www.o2.co.uk/black-friday-cyber-monday" target="_blank">http://www.o2.co.uk/black-friday-cyber-monday</A>. Included in the sale is the Ultimate Ears Boom at £84.99 – half price – while the HTC M9 is available with £120 off.</P>

<P>Hi guys,</P>
<P><BR />To clarify the first&nbsp;point, yes, it’s the Fitbit Charge HR that’s going on offer</P>
<P>In terms of pricing we’d love to confirm all the exact details and prices but we’ve got to keep some things secret until the big day! ;-)</P>

<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>As&nbsp;<LI-USER uid="1173618">﻿</LI-USER>&nbsp;has mentioned, auctions have been postponed on the O2 Price Crash site so that it be worked on after issues due to high demand.

No, the texts with videos were going out all last week, as far as I can see, the black Friday price crash auction has still not restarted or been mentioned by twitter (from what I've seen).<BR />I think it's been chalked off as a DOA which is a shame but that's how some things go.

<P>Hi guys,</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>We're sorry for all of&nbsp;the issues with the Black Friday deals. We had to roll back our plans due to technical issues.
